3) RTVMBRD on the file and get the record count. Use that to control the loop and avoid CPF0864. After you process the last record use OVRDBF or POSDBF to reposition.

1) Using the record count is only OK if you're sure that the file is "frozen" while you are processing it.

2) Will the OVRDBF reposition the cursor after the file has been opened?
